Verdict
Mythical King is preferred over Archirondel and Noble Calling in this Selling Hurdle. The selection has had two runs this season which should leave him primed to run his race today and as he is eased in grade he should have too much class for his rivals. Archirondel was a fair second behind Lord Baskerville last time and he is proving expensive to follow. However, he did travel well for a long way last time and he gives the impression that his turn will not be far away. Noble Calling reverts to hurdling after a couple of runs on the level but he hasn't won for over two years and he can't be backed with any confidence. Uncle Max was disappointing in this grade on Friday and look opposable and for the winner we will stick with Mythical King.
